New Trailer for Netflix's Animated Film IN YOUR DREAMS Teases a Wild Dreamworld Adventure
Netflix has released a new trailer for its upcoming animated comedy adventure film, In Your Dreams, which looks like a good time!
The movie follows two siblings who discover a mysterious book titled “The Legend of the Sandman”. They are launched into a candy-colored, chaos-fueled dreamworld where pretty much anything goes, including a town made of breakfast food and that classic nightmare scenario where you’re suddenly, awkwardly naked.
The animation style is pretty bland, but it looks like it’ll tell a fun story that the kids will enjoy. The movie was directed by Alex Woo and co-directed by Erik Benson, who also co-wrote the script from a story by Woo and Stanley Moore.
Woo previously opened up about the long road to making a “dream movie” that actually works. “Dreams have always fascinated me. A dream movie in the animated space has sort of been a white whale. I think every animation studio in the world has had a dream movie in development at some point over the last couple decades, but none of them have ever been made, because I think nobody could figure out how to give a dream movie stakes.
“I really wanted to make a movie that explores the question of: What do you do when your dreams actually don’t come true? How do you find hope? How do you keep moving forward in life?”
The voice cast includes Craig Robinson. Simu Liu, Cristin Milioti, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elias Janssen, Omid Djalili, Gia Carides, SungWon Cho, and Zachary Noah Piser.
Robinson said: “This script touches all of us. Everybody dreams. It is a love letter to our brothers and sisters. I have a younger brother and an older sister, so that was all real!”
The film is set to premiere November 14 on Netflix.
